Did I hear it correctly??

This evening, I received a call from HR that I am no longer need to clock in and out starting from today. I was like 'huh? I don't understand.' 'Aren't you informed that you are promoted as of today to executive level as an engineer?' 'Huh? okay thanks.'

I hung up the phone and rush to my boss for an answer. He turned to me and handed me the leter of appointment. He brought me to a room and explained to me the role of an engineer.

This one year plus of hard work has finally paid off. When I was promoted to senior engineering assistant last year, I told myself I will give myself 2 years to climb to executive level. After 8 months here I am in this position.

Wonder how others will react when they know about it tomorrow......
